Add ability to customize the lines by changing the shape of the line that connects the data points to one of the following:

"Point to Point" showing data points connected by straight lines.

"Step at Point" showing data points connected by steps that start and end at the data points.

"Step Between Points" showing data points connected by steps that start and end between the data points.

"Smooth" showing data points connected by smooth curves.

This is such a staple in Excel, it is required in PowerBI - especially the smooth function

RE: Enhance line graph customizations

Please add:
1) Option to show data points (solid dots or open circles).
2) Ability to customize the thickness of lines and the size of data points.
3) A "Highlight" interaction option that leaves the lines in place but hides the data points that are not highlighted.
4) An option for smooth curves through data points.
5) Ability to hide or show horizontal and vertical axis grid lines, and to choose between solid or dotted grid lines.
6) Ability to specify the angle of the labels on the x-axis.

RE: Enhance line graph customizations

I need this too, especially a way to stop plotting lines when there's no data for a specific interval
